The barracks were built at state expense in 1935–1936 and were originally named after Conrad von Hötzendorf. During the Second World War they were used by the Wehrmacht, and after the war they were taken over by Soviet troops. The Austrian army returned in 1956; military use later ceased and the barracks were sold in 2007.
